- What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
- When: in 2.6.23
- Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
- us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
- been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
- implementation are blocking more critical core networking
- development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
- enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
- (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
- handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
- errors impossible too because they get called after we've
- totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
- This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
- has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
- this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.

What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer)
When: December 2007
Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several

+What: Legacy RTC drivers (under drivers/i2c/chips)
+When: November 2007
+Why: Obsolete. We have a RTC subsystem with better drivers.

+ What: iptables SAME target
+ When: 1.1. 2008
+ Files: net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_SAME.c, include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_SAME.h
+ Why: Obsolete for multiple years now, NAT core provides the same behaviour.
+ Unfixable broken wrt. 32/64 bit cleanness.
